The 2016 CIPD Absence Management Survey found two-fifths of respondents reported stress-related absence to have increased over the past year. Yet nearly half of private sector organisations that rank stress among their top causes of absence are not taking any steps to address it.
Over 15 million working days are lost to stress, anxiety or depression each year.

| Improving our resilience means we can improve our response when faced with challenging times.

Workshop 4
Mental Health problems are increasingly common within the workplace. Being able to recognise this situation in the early stages can be beneficial to both an individual and the organisation.
However, it can feel challenging for Team Leaders or Managers to address concerns they have about one of their team and the opportunity is therefore lost. This workshop is aimed at providing Managers with the information and understanding of mental health problems, so they can have the confidence to be proactive in this sensitive area.
